Mr Sustainable

In a hybrid PV/battery storage project in Denville/Hackettstown, NJ, state‐of‐the‐art lithium ion batteries work with a commercial PV system, simultaneously generating PV power, providing frequency regulation for PJM, and providing emergency power capability.

No government involvement, no grants…the revenue from the frequency regulation services not only paid for the additional cost of the batteries, but paid for the inverter, too, actually reducing the cost of the system.

Bloomberg.com: “German Power Tumbles to Record Low as Solar Damps Demand”

Earth Day 2013 is the perfect time to work on sustainable energy and sustainable building, especially at the New Jersey shore that was so heavily impacted by super storm Sandy.

Mr Sustainable, Dante DiPirro, will be a speaker at the Earth Day Gathering at historic Camp Evans, 2201 Marconi Rd, Wall, NJ, 07719.

For event information.

When Dante DiPirro was 11, he built a contraption from old mirrors that directed the sun’s heat toward a single point. The makeshift solar collector was his sixth-grade science fair project.

Now, decades later, DiPirro is still experimenting with sunlight. Calling himself Mr. Sustainable, the lawyer, blogger and self-styled environmental consultant designed the system of solar panels that powers his off-grid East Amwell, New Jersey home.
